Really? EQ Lv. 50 enemies only? Agito and Diez Liu only drops from lvl 51+ Fjorgalla/Bal Blundarl. Sega screw us badly. We don't to farm unsellable lvl 11+ PAs!!!!!

Wishful thinking that the rares are higher levels in this EQ or that the EQ's level is actually at least Lv.51.

And oh god the cake sisters, I can barely tolerate their voices in AQs and now more of them -_-

This scratch although is quiet promising.

- Goodie, a proper eyepatch. This rose thing is an okay placeholder, but Johann needs the real thing.
- Another paleo? Sega, you're murdering my wallet here.
- Chairs can jump, all of my YES.
- Mesetan's got mad swag yo.
- Fishnet stockings? You can't say Sega doesn't know who its audience is.

Can't shake the feeling that episode 2 has been more like regular updates than an expansion.
Not just in terms of content, but presentation and so forth. Everything mostly feels the same.
Other games usually give a fresh feel with each new expansion.

Doesn't help that the updates have been spread out over such long periods and feel incomplete.
Katanas and Bows don't have as many PAs as the others, and their itemization is severely lacking in variety.
It doesn't take them long to throw in stuff like red versions, so it's hard to just let that kind of thing go.

I haven't been playing much since episode 2, because if I come back in a few months everything will be more fleshed out.
All the absurdly rare discs will be cheap as hell, and there'll tons of powerful Katanas and Bows that make them much more easily accessible.

Wonder how they want to stop crystal farming. Its a random code as far I know and they can't stop people from running a quest over and over till one spawns o.o

Shame about exit bursts, they were fun to do.

seriously, the droprates in this game are abysmal, exit burst help a bit, but only a bit and now they are going to remove that? i understand that loads people were butthurt that other people were crystal farming and exit bursting while they couldn't because they are too inept to communicate with other people or to get in teams, or something, i don't know
reminds me how SEGA made 10* not tradeable/sellable because "QQ everyone runs with a tigredor"

FI weapon buffs?

They're decreasing the hitstop on knuckles and boosting the damage % for dagger gear.

@topic: All I'm excited about here is Mesetan and Photon chairs, but Mesetan is probably going to be rarer than Mr. Umbrella, and Photon chairs will probably cost a fortune.

The Fighter class will see some improvements in August. Knuckles will have shorter hitstop frames, and the gear on Twin Dagger PAs will have improved accumulating rates in power.

This looks......... not interesting at all.

I can't care less about all the accessories, the caseal parts look alright but nothing great.

Mesetan, as been said earlier in the thread, nothing like some good old meseta after a full meseta streak.
New EQ doesn't look to be anything special either.

I was hoping for some extra katana's maybe, there is quite a few bow's to go around at the moment, some even relatively simple to get (10*'s that is) but 10* katana's, well, we all know how *cough* easy *cough* they are to get.

Can't have it all i guess, patiently continue farming the existing mobs and wait for the caseal parts.

The caseal pirate parts look bad compared to the regular female pirate ones. Its looks like she's sighing in the video and saying 'I know, I think these parts look awful too'.

Might just be the chest piece though, that can be easily remedied at least.

If the photon chairs are not locked to be used in the lobby only, we could do photon chair races on any exploration level! Especially with the new jump feature, dodging enemies while racing could be really fun!

The chest piece is pretty terrible.
I wish sega would stop trying to make caseal looks human so much, and throw in a bit more of a mechanical style.

But i guess if it doesn't have big boobs, nobody wants it.

Caseals are in a weird space, think about it. If someone wanted a more mechanical looking cast why would they make them female in the first place? I wouldn't complain for having more mechanical looking parts for caseals, but I made Milla specifically because of the mecha musume look caseals have.

well, we did just get 3 cast -> caseal conversions over the last few months, if that's not "mechanical" I don't know what is...

it's more of a matter of people actually wearing them. I have seriously never seen anyone wearing any part of fauma or dista, and maybe like 2 people wearing ronia (other than myself)

but overall, screw dewmans, I really like the visual options for caseal

To my knowledge (it's been a while), you have to try pretty hard to get the robotic face look which is my problem with caseals in general. Most caseals I've seen just have that Lisa-esque soul stealing stare. Yes, the appearance is humanoid but it's still distinctly cast much in the nature of male casts.

Jul 29, 2013, 01:43 PM
Oh, in that case I agree. We need more mechanical looking female casts faces.

I rather go for actually having caseal helmets just like how cast's have helmets for their face rather than facial textures. Caseal non-flesh faces helmets like in PSU are acceptable.

I find it really irritating that the majority of caseal parts in PSO2 are much worse than of PSU's closet.

Most arms are nice, some leg parts are actually very nice but are just too fleshy, and the majority of body pieces are fleshy.
Sure, I don't mind some flesh/skin showing out but does it have to be nearly the entire part?

The trick to keep "skin" from showing would be to give your caseal an irregular skin tone. I'd prefer a mix, though I can't really understand what their obsession with caseal thighs are, as that's always the part that gets "skin" showing the most on their leg parts. ._.

The choice being there is a good thing off course, i meant it more like the original (none cast conversion parts) lately have been very much more towards the human then the mecha side.

Some humanity in the design i have no problem with at all, but some of those parts are like *look at this caseal, it has boobs and thighs just like fleshies!!111

Luckily we off course have the choice to not use them, it's just a shame they are the dominant caseal parts.


well, we did just get 3 cast -> caseal conversions over the last few months, if that's not "mechanical" I don't know what is...

it's more of a matter of people actually wearing them. I have seriously never seen anyone wearing any part of fauma or dista, and maybe like 2 people wearing ronia (other than myself)

but overall, screw dewmans, I really like the visual options for caseal

I personally use the ronia upper in combination with the rosen schwartz legs and arms, i have also used the ronia arms for a good while.

I really like the fauma shoulders as well (my caseal SP actually uses them), just not the upper/lower that much cause i wanted a more "slick" rather then bulky look, the same is the case on dista.


Oh, in that case I agree. We need more mechanical looking female casts faces.

The faces would make a huge difference already, and the skin tone.
Skin tone wise my caseal is a bit messed up being far to human, but that is a mistake I made myself, that I can't fix at the moment.

How was I racist? If anything I say was, then I never meant that.

By face I meant flesh, by Helmet I mean something like what casts have. Most caseal headparts are closer to hairstyle than helmets.

Pretty much what Kondibon said, give more helmet-parts and keep the faces separate to create some more creativity.

I can name much more costumes that skyrocketed than just the recent.

One example: During the Anniversary when the Student Repca (Edited: snow) came out, it was standing around 140k during the first few weeks it was out. Now it's standing around 1.2mil-1.9mil.

Tickets however skyrocket in price easily because they are one-time used and must wait for revivals. Watch, after the scratch is gone, tickets that where 100k will sore up to 500k+


(not counting head parts) caseal parts usually never go up really high(even the older ones)

Fleshy outfits on the other hand (-_-) (looks at outfits that go in the millions on release day)

Only several parts goes up high but never that high, such as Lamia and for some reason hilbert not too long ago. Most just either stay stable or increase up little. Most of the unwanted are your stable prices.

Fleshy's outfits skyrocket like crazy. When I bought Zelsusis 5 weeks ago it was 320K for a black one, now the regular ones went up to 600k and white/blacks closing in 1mil. I barely see any caseal parts that goes up that high.

Really? Must be looking at the wrong color then. I remember buying it cheaply when it first release for an awkward 300k (probably put up by accident price) and now selling it for 2.9mil a month later.

Edit: My found my mistake, it was the snow student repca that was the one I'm talking about.

Regardless, still proves the point that fleshy costumes generally have higher price values than caseals.

yes... but I'm worried about that average 170 MS latency, such latency means death in all FPS games and usually a loss in racers+^_^+ and expect that to be doubled as the Server acts as host connection and must send a second 170 MS packet to update everyone's positions+^_^+ if both players started at the same time, then from the perspective of both, each would be winning as the other would be a good 3' behind the other, you would need a tertiary observer with a decent connection to the server to watch the race to determine actual winner+^_^+
